Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Mmm, peanut butter Oreos. I did not know this was a thing.

I'm generally an Oreo traditionalist, but these are gooood.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me...I didn't know peanut butter Oreos were a thing, either, but they sound like an excellent idea.

Go Consuela, mad networker that networks at midnight!

What was I thinking? Of course the Count is my favorite Sesame Street muppet. But it's a close race.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Consuela, I am confident you will end up -- quickly -- in a situation that is way better than what you're leaving.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I submitted an application for Fella.

eeeeee

I guess I should call someone about putting in a dog door.

Our wings are not tired.

Lee, I use this service a lot and really like them.

I've hired them to put in my dog door, install my new oven/stove (their licensed plumber did the electric-gas conversion, too), change out my old faucets in kitchen and bathroom, and all kinds of stuff. It's not super cheap (I think $110/hr) but they're efficient, nice, and I like that I can have a whole bunch of different kinds of things done in the same visit.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Got my car out of impound, got a court date next Tuesday (need to come up with an adequate excuse for work as to WHY I need that particular day off as comp).

I've been working with special needs young adults, and one of them has a ridiculous (I thought) crush on one of the staff at her Center. But, hoo boy, I need to join her club. He's cute, he's got a southern accent, he's got a cowboy hat, and he's ridiculously kind. Damn, he's married. Me and Dani will have to bond over the highschool flutters in our hearts. She actually shudders when she talks about him, and I'm so right on board.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of shuddering, I need to update my drawing challenge pic with a less crappy scan than the machine at work.

Does anyone know anything about the Da Vinci drama (not the coroner kind) coming on Starz? And does anyone know enough about actual Da Vinci to estimate the bullshit quotient?

Consuela, you definitely are playing the right cards for working your way into another job. I bow in your direction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Today's lesson from reality-TV court shows: if you meet a man who is "working" as a drug dealer, don't have a six-year relationship and a child with him. Also, don't attack him with a box cutter.

Damn, all I got out of it yesterday was that if your car catches fire on your way to visit friends, do not park it in their driveway. Furthermore, if you do make the choice to bring fire onto another's property and it then spreads to the house, "I didn't set fire to my car on purpose" is not an adequate defence.
